Chapter 107 Remnants
Since Shaozhuang's main destination is Wenxianglin, Jiang Ran's destination is naturally also here.

Moreover, he had to go with the young master.

Otherwise, without the young master to block the gun, who knows what kind of mystery will be encountered here?
It's just that the young owner seems to be too impatient now.

Is it because Dao Wuming broke his mentality?
Or was it because things were out of his control?
Or...he was just eager to get away, and didn't intend to ask Xianglin and his party?
No matter what the result is, for Jiang Ran, he must go to this place.

Even if it wasn't for the young owner, it was for the old drunkard.

Asking that Xianglin was not far away, Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang performed lightness kung fu, but they arrived in a moment.

From the outside, there is nothing special about it.

It's just a forest, the only difference from other forests is that this forest is very fragrant.

This kind of incense is not the aroma of sandalwood, pear tree, and camphor wood.

The tree itself exudes a fragrance similar to the blooming stamens.

Therefore, if you step into the forest and close your eyes, you will have the illusion of being in a sea of ​​flowers.

Jiang Ran didn't know this kind of tree, but after asking Ye Jingshuang, he got a name 'Fragrant Tree'.

Jiang Ran has never seen it in his previous life, and it seems to be unique to this part of the world.

Traces of destruction can be seen everywhere in the forest.

This should be left behind by the young owner after he came here.

Judging from the scene where he moved bamboos to plant forests outside Benma County, this person must be proficient in formations.

This asked that there should also be formations in Xianglin, and most of these traces of destruction were left by this person breaking the formation.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran quickened his pace.

Stepping into the forest, although there are sometimes damages, it does not damage the beauty in the middle.

Every plant and tree is carefully arranged, beautiful and magnificent, making people feel like they are in a fairyland on earth.

Jiang Ran now has an urge to untie the gourd around his waist, drink heavily, and lie down under a tree to sleep soundly after drinking.

Of course, he didn't do it in the end.

Putting one hand on the handle of the knife, he and Ye Jingshuang walked along the mountain road, and after a short walk, they had already walked out of the forest.

At this moment, Jiang Ran felt a little lost in his heart.

After leaving the forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.

There are flowing water leading to the distance, and there are two thatched huts, dotted with fireworks in the world.

Jiang Ran came to the hut, but there was no one there.

The trace left by the young master is also gone.

It was as if he had come here and then returned abruptly.

Jiang Ran didn't have the habit of rushing into other people's homes without permission. Seeing that the road was not exhausted, he and Ye Jingshuang went on their way.

After a while, he came to the side of the small river.

There was also a small pier by the river. Jiang Ran looked up, his eyes shrank slightly.

Right on the edge of the pier, there was a thin old man with white hair sitting there.

He was fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

Next to his stool, there was a bamboo hat.

What surprised Jiang Ran was that this person was clearly sitting here, and he didn't know anything about it.

Even if he is close at hand now, Jiang Ran can't feel the person's breathing or heartbeat.

As if he wasn't here at all.

Glancing at Ye Jingshuang, she found that her eyes were also full of surprise, so she said softly:
"Jiang Ran, the junior, I have met the senior."

The old man didn't look up when he heard the sound, but just pointed to the stool next to him and the fishing rod beside him.

Jiang Ran pondered for a while, then took another look at the surrounding environment, and then nodded to Ye Jingshuang.

Later, he sat down in front of him, picked up the fishing rod on the ground, shook his hand, and threw the hook out.

Once again, the river was silent.

An old man and a young man sit here and fish quietly.

The young girl stood aside with a long sword in her hand.

This beautiful scenery is like a painting.

Jiang Ran went to see the old man while fishing.

Really skinny.

Thin as if only skin and bones were left.

His skin was still loose, especially on the wrists where it was drooping.

But even so, his hand holding the fishing rod never trembled at all.

He is very old... His eye sockets are sunken, his eyes are cloudy, and his temples are not bulging. He doesn't look like a master.

When Jiang Ran sat here and looked at him, he didn't seem to notice it at all.

It's like wandering in the sky, and it seems that you only care about the fishing rod in your palm, and you don't care about any external objects.

However, the time for a cup of tea passed, and another stick of incense passed, and the last half hour was quietly forgotten.

The fishing rod in his hand remained motionless.

When Jiang Ran arrived at this meeting, he finally couldn't help but cast his eyes on the fishing rod in his hand.

I began to wonder, is there any fish in this water?
If there is a fish, even if it is a straight hook, there should be some movement.

Jiang Ran thought in his heart, the power of the Zhengxin Sutra subconsciously moved to the fishing rod, and followed the fishing line into the water.

boom! ! !
There was a muffled sound, and the waves were shocking!
There is always an internal force spreading under the water, making it impossible for the surrounding fish to approach.

Jiang Ran didn't know what was going on, so when he explored his internal force, the two forces had a confrontation underwater.

Ye Jingshuang's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold down the hilt of the sword.

Waiting for the spray to fall, Jiang Ran flicked his sleeves to block all the spray.

He first glanced at Ye Jingshuang, telling her to be calm, and then he glared at the old man:
"You don't let the fish come over, and you still fish with me here?"

"Fishing catches the heart, so what does it have to do with fish?"

The old man opened his mouth slowly, revealing only two or three big yellow teeth left in his mouth:
"Young people are still a bit short of fire after all, you have to cultivate your mind."

"Cultivate your mind?"

Jiang Ran glanced at the old man:
"How to fix it?"

"To cultivate one's mind, one must first ask one's heart."

The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to Jiang Ran's heart:
"Ask here, who are you...?"

"Who am I?"

Jiang Ran smiled: "Do you still need to ask yourself this question?"

"Sometimes, you may not even know yourself."

The old man adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, and his body shook slowly:

"Are you good or evil.

"Are you smart or stupid.

"Are you a god or a demon...

"How many of these questions can you answer?"

"I also have a question, don't ask yourself."

Jiang Ran glanced at the old man and paused every word:
"Senior, do you know that the Heavenly Demon is at ease?"

When Jiang Ran asked this sentence, the water in the whole river seemed to stagnate for a moment.

Ye Jingshuang, who was standing on one side, didn't wait for his expression to change, but his figure flickered, and he was about to fall to the ground, but Jiang Ran was already holding him in his arms.

He looked up at the old man, his face darkened:

"what have you done?"

As soon as the mind moves, it is necessary to use the straightening finger.

Just listen to the old man say:
"You're talking too deeply about this topic, if she hears it, it's inevitable that she will kill her to silence her.

"Letting her unconscious for a while is for her own good."

Jiang Ran stared at the old man for a while, finally let out a sigh of relief, put Ye Jingshuang on the stool, and let her sit by himself:

"you have not answer my question yet."

"That's the ultimate law."

A few emotions flashed in the eyes of the old man:

"Unfortunately, no one in this world can achieve it."

"You are indeed a remnant of the Demon Cult."

Jiang Ran frowned slightly: "Why did the old drunkard know you? What is his relationship with the Tang family? Where is the young master now?"

Now, how could he not know that this old man was the one who met the old alcoholic in Benma County that day.

No wonder no one noticed his whereabouts afterwards. If such a person is unwilling, no matter how much energy is expended to search and investigate, they will not find the slightest trace.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at him, grinned, and showed those teeth again:

"The old man has already said, you still have to cultivate your mind.

"How can you ask questions one after another, when your question is asked, what you ask will be exposed in the eyes of others.

"A person who really wants to achieve his goal will never be so straightforward.

"Because when others know what you want, they will block you. The more direct you are, the more detours you will take.

"I see that what you have done in Benma County is not bad.

"Hiding my purpose and making those idiots play around, although it took a little effort, the method was too rough.

"But... barely qualified.

"Why did you get upset at this meeting, after it was related to that old thing in your mouth?"

Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint sound of knives.

"Shocking nine knives."

The old man sighed:

"It's really been a long time since I saw him, the guy who dared to run to the main hall with a big knife back then.

"Now there is a small guard.

"Is this the return of 20 years of nurturing?
"It's really enviable..."

After Jiang Ran heard what he said, he took a deep breath and suppressed the sword on his body.

The corner of his mouth grinned:
"Master, judging by your tone, you are quite familiar with my old bastard?"

"Cooked, too familiar."

The old man nodded repeatedly, glanced at Jiang Ran, and said with a smile:

"Is there anything you want to know?"

Jiang Ran smiled:
"In that case, you and I are not outsiders, right?"

"of course."

The old man smiled and said:

"Based on my age, it's only natural for him to call me Dad and you to call me Grandpa."

"..."

This old bastard is quite good at climbing up poles.

Jiang Ran was silent for a while, and asked:
"Where is he?"

The old man smiled at Jiang Ran:
"Don't tell you."

Jiang Ran was happy, but didn't worry:
"Then what can you tell me?"

"The old man doesn't know either. I'll tell you what I want to tell you, and I won't tell you what I don't want to tell you."

The old man smiled and said:

"It depends on what you ask."

"Why are you fishing here?"

"Because I have to wait for someone."

"wait for me?"

"Wait for Zuo Daozhuang."

"What are they waiting for?"

"Give them the token."

"Give it?"

"Give it."

"What is the token?"

"this."

The old man took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

The word 'freedom' is engraved on this jade pendant.

"...Didn't I give it?"

"Who said there is only one token?"

"Where is the young master?"

"He went where he was supposed to go."

"where?"

"Don't tell you."

Jiang Ran frowned slightly:

"What is the relationship between my old alcoholic and the Devil's Cult?"

"That's a long story."

The old man suddenly became excited:
"Back then, there was a saint in my Demon Cult, whose beauty was indescribable.

"What's even more rare is that she is not only good-looking, but also extremely talented.

"She can learn any martial arts at once...

"Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records, have you heard of it?"

"heard about it."

"She studies the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records, one book a year, and after learning one book, she becomes a master.

"After five or six years of studying, I didn't want to learn anymore, so I didn't practice the remaining eighteen days of Molu.

"Otherwise, she might be the first one to learn all the Eighteen Heavenly Demon Records in all ages."

"...Master, are you bragging?"

Jiang Ran blinked his eyes: "How can there be such a talented person in this world? And I heard that there is a kind of kung fu in the Eighteen Heavens Demon Records, which women must never practice. Once they practice, they will definitely die."

"Have such a kung fu?"

The old man looked at Jiang Ran with some doubts on his face.

Jiang Ran nodded repeatedly.

"Are you the Devil's Cult, or am I the Devil's Cult? Why do you know more than I do?"

The old man muttered a little unhappy.

Jiang Ran was a little taken aback:
"You don't know the martial arts of Eighteen Heavens Molu, do you?"

"I don't want to remember."

The old man gave Jiang Ran a white look:
"Have you heard yet?"

"Listen to it!"

Jiang Ran nodded quickly.

The old man hesitated for a while, humming and chirping, and then said:

"To sum it up, her aptitude is unique and unique.

"As a result, one day when she went out to relax, she was spotted by that unlucky child...

"What is that unlucky kid practicing, Nine Swords of Shocking God.

"It was the best sword in the world in the past.

"Among the moves, even today, I still can't break some of them. They are really powerful."

"...You're digressing."

Jiang Ran reminded in a low voice.

The old man nodded:

"That's right, that's right, let's just say that the unlucky child met our saint, this is a hot match... almost blown his brains out!"

"???"

Hearing his fierce fire and dry wood, I thought that the two of them would fall in love as soon as they met.

It took a long time to fight?
Seemingly seeing the confusion on Jiang Ran's face, the old man sighed:

"Back then, by chance, that grandson of the turtle learned the Nine Swords of Shocking God, and his mind was full of chivalrous dung.

"I don't pay attention to our beautiful saintess at all.

"After knowing the identity of the saint, I want to eliminate harm for Jiang Hu."

"Well, people in my way should be like this."

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, expressing his approval.

The old man glanced at Jiang Ran, as if he was too lazy to argue with him:

"Later, the two of them started dating, and they developed a little friendship.

"It's mainly the saint who has a little affection for him, after all, they are all young people.

"We are also happy to see the success, if the successor of Jingshen Nine Swords joins us, it will be even more prestigious!

"In the end, he didn't want to.

"They came here with a big knife, they went in and out, and we don't know how many people they killed.

"The saint was furious, and she completely gave up on this idea.

"In the end, that kid left...the saint married someone else in a fit of rage.

"Hey, hug two for three years!

"This relationship is over, even if it is over."

When he said this, he was quite proud.

Jiang Ran felt that the story was not so simple.

Even if the old alcoholic is unwilling, why bother to take the risk of killing him in the main hall of the Demon Cult? No matter how you look at it, something seems wrong, and there may be someone who is obstructing it.

The person who is obstructing him is probably the old man in front of him.

No wonder the old alcoholic borrows alcohol to get drunk every day. Is it because of this?
Moreover, he was an enemy back then, why is he a friend now?
There must be another twists and turns inside.

Of course, Jiang Ran would not completely believe the old man's words.

This person looks old, but he is disrespectful. Moreover, he is still a remnant of the Demon Cult, so it is hard to tell whether what he said is true or not.

You might be deceiving yourself.

The old man then smacked his lips:

"Okay, that's the end of their relationship. The old bastard you're talking about was someone our former saintess once admired."

"But according to what you say, there should be only hatred between you?"

Jiang Ran glanced at him:
"Then why do you still stay here and pass on the token for him?"

"Who said I'm here to deliver the token for him?"

"You just finished talking..."

"Oh, that's just by the way."

The old man smiled and said:

"I stay here for another reason."

"what reason?"

"Don't tell you."

The old man smiled and looked at Jiang Ran carefully.

A pair of cloudy old eyes rolled around, as if they wanted to jump out of their sockets and grow on Jiang Ran's body.

Jiang Ran frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with this gaze.

Immediately, Good Fortune turned his heart, and the old man really gave a 'huh', his body trembled slightly, wondering if Jiang Ran had misread it, and he always felt that his figure just now seemed to be indifferent for a moment.

The next moment, the old man's angry voice came:

"Sure enough, it's Niubi's kung fu!

"Why did the unlucky thing pass you this?"

Jiang Ran did not answer these two questions, but asked:

"The Tang family also belongs to your demon sect?"

"Didn't you already have an answer to this question?"

Jiang Ran said coldly:
"What the hell did they do to me?"

"Hands and feet?"

After hearing this, the old man suddenly let go of his hand.

There was no trace of joking in the cloudy eyes.

Only the miserable coldness remained.

Jiang Ran faced him silently, the invisible air mechanisms spread out, and there was a faint "crackling" sound in the void, not loud, but very crisp.

The calm water waves of the small river also began to tumbling, and sometimes fish emerged from the middle, with their white bellies unfolded, they were dead for no reason.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Jiang Ran.

The figure of the old man in front of him began to blur.

In a blink of an eye, a big living person disappeared from under his nose.

Jiang Ran's heart felt a little chilly, what kind of martial arts is this?Are the methods of the Demon Cult really so treacherous?Even have the ability to hide?
But I heard a voice coming from all sides, it was the old man's movement:

"Young people are hot-tempered, and the old man won't tell you the details.

"Hey, I see you are pitiful, let me tell you one last news.

"Your master has gone to Jinyang Mansion, if you want to find him, go there.

"Okay, take care of yourself, don't let me down... It's been a painstaking pain..."

Jiang Ran blinked:
"Don't tell me?"
